well topfan, you are in a minority of people, who expected us to finish 4th this season, most people seemed to think we could finish 3rd, some< slightly blinkered i think> even thought we could finish 1st or 2nd!!!!
as for previous coaches, remember paul cullen set the ball rolling, steve mac carried it on, and became havens most successful coach in history, then came rotherham, who stopped it all and has taken us backwards
no matter how you all try to dress it up, rotherham has taken the club back.
you say our position was to be "expected given the other teams in the competition", but that is only an opinion, not a fact,remember we beat halifax 4 times during the season, yet some how managed to still finish below them!
just as in my opinion, castleford are not as good a team this season as they were in 2005, making our achievement then of finishing above them all the more remarkable, but that is not a fact, it is just my opinion!< shared by others, but not by all>
